Hands-on training in the hangar includes maintenance, servicing, troubleshooting and repair of powerplant systems and components.
<h3>Our Students Work on Real Equipment, Preparing for Careers as Aircraft Mechanics</h3>
In the Aircraft Maintenance program, students have the opportunity to work on both the body of aircraft and engines of all types and sizes. Equipment includes a model-sized jet engine called JetCat. With the JetCat, students get to run an actual jet engine and use real-time diagnostic readouts to troubleshoot the engine’s systems.

Our aircraft mechanic students also learn about electricity, fuel metering systems and sheet metal structures, in addition to hands-on training with propeller, turbine and jet engine systems.
<h3>SJVC Students Prepare to Test for Their A and P License</h3>
SJVC prepares graduates to earn their Airframe and Powerplant License (also known as A&amp;P or A and P License) through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With an A and P License, SJVC Aircraft Maintenance graduates can expect to work as A&amp;P mechanics for airlines, commuter and corporate air fleets, and airfreight companies. Aircraft mechanics perform a variety of tasks on the job, including:
<ul>
	<li>• Removal and installation of major aircraft components</li>
	<li>• Conducting safety and preventative aircraft checks</li>
	<li>• Repairing, servicing and maintaining aircrafts</li>
</ul>
